Congratulations!  It's not easy to do. I know/worked with a lot of HAMs. I don't know their call signs, however, since I'm not a HAM myself.

Although I know a good number of HAMS, I don't have a license myself. I do have a General Class commercial 2-way license. (Grandfathered from 2nd class, when the FCC did all that.) I worked on radios all day. By the time I got home at night, playing with radios was not something I wanted to do.  8)

I used to have a first class commercial radiotelephone license years ago, so I could probably remember enough stuff to get a ham license. but if they still require you to learn Morse code I'd have t,o learn that. And I'd have to buy equipment, too.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.
